Offtopic / Mars Tactics

« on: February 23, 2022, 12:56:26 pm »

I came across this game when looking for turn based games similiar to xcom,its still on early access and only has a short demo so far but it looks like a mix of old and newcom,having the half and full cover mechanics as well as the two action system which lets you do any two actions apart from overwatch,you can free fire in this game and can take down some types of cover with fire or cause enemies to panic and lose action points by supressing them.

I wonder what is the opinion of people here about it as i believe this is somewhat close to the original xcom in terms of it's turn based combat system

XPZ Strategy/Tactics / Fun but unconventional strategies.

What strategies do you use when you just want to have fun with stupid loadouts?
My personal favorite is the full fire team of fire resistant armor with some firebombs incase they find a power armor wondering outside the ship.

Offtopic / How many of you found xcom or TFTD bugs?

« on: May 07, 2016, 12:55:24 pm »

DOS or PS1 bugs of the original game,especialy bugs that are rare and dont usualy appear at normal play.I learned that hobbes found the weird HWP panic bug and i was wondering what other bugs people found during their own personal play.

Suggestions / Option to see the percentage of the damage calculated on screen.

It might seem to a bit unbalanced to know how much damage you did on a enemy but considering we have tftd damage calculation available i dont see it as much of a issue.It wouldnt hurt anyone as it and tftd calculation are options so if anyone doesnt like that they would simply turn it off.

Suggestions / A official mod for tftd mixed crew behavior

Considering that fact that opentftd exists and is there are various elements from it in UFO as mods,i wondered why not have a mod that makes mixed crews be completely random like tftd,we could have etherials with mutons or sectopods with cyberdisks

Offtopic / What was the most creative death of an alien,civilian,operative in openxcom

« on: August 06, 2014, 11:03:19 pm »

I had 2 operatives inside a demolished terrorship with floaters,i hadn't had enough tu to move a soldier on the second floor of the ship so i sent someone with a flying suit to tank the damage.The floater did the unthinkable and while still aiming for the initial target,went down a floor bypasing the solder with the flying suit and repositioned itself to shoot the soldier that was guarded.
And the A.I. was in beginer may i add.
